There is no reason for Pawlenty to quit now. He came in behind Bachmann (who will self destruct before the election) and Ron Paul (who will never be supported by the Republicorps), so he was basically in the top position in the Straw Poll. No one in a cult religion will be elected President, that drops out Romney and Huntsman, we will not elect back-to-back black candidates, so Cain is out. Santorum is a joke, so he's out. Pawlenty was the only real electable candidate in the field. Serious, experienced, but not much charisma. So what changed? Rick Perry stepped in and all the Republican Neo-Con establishment backed him instantly. Pawlenty was probably told to drop out and he'll get a nice ambassadorship or cabinet appointment in Perry's White House. Rick Perry will be the next President. He's got nice hair and a big mouth, he's got the religious Right on his side, the NRA, and has some Tea Party credentials, but most importantly the Republican Party apparatus. Bachmann may end up as his VP for "diversity".
The political process is all a sham and voting will just get you more of the same bunch of assholes. Two parties, but one system of corruption.
Ron Paul 2012 is the only way to break the hold of the political elite.
